Ah, well

I was sorry to see all the negative reviews of the new Titans book. Not so much because I think it means that I won't care for it--I think we all know by now that I get a lot of fun out of some comics most folks consider crappy--but because it doesn't bode well for the future of the book. It's possible, of course, that I won't like it. Guess I'll find out in a few weeks. I'm still very interested in seeing how the dynamic among those particular characters works once they're taken out of the young-heroes-learning-their-trade thing.

I'm also wondering how often this title will tie into the regular Teen Titans book, because we get that as trades and therefore would always be a bit behind.

Looking forward to this even more now

The new comic I'm most looking forward to these days is Titans. Not because of this preview, although that looks all right. But...I'd assumed that this would be a temporary-at-best gathering of old friends, which would have been fine by me. What it says in the preview is:

A new team of Titans is born in the extra-sized first issue of a new ongoing monthly...! Someone or something is continuing its attack on anyone who’s ever been a Titan, including Nightwing, Starfire, Donna Troy, Beast Boy and Raven. You won’t want to miss this new startling chapter in Titans history that may forge a new team from the ashes of old, dead friends.

So, I didn't know it was an ongoing, and it is, which is pretty cool. And there's the potential for seeing at least part of the old New Teen Titans (which I read back in the eighties) together on a regular basis. I'm assuming that it won't be a case of reuniting the old group (though that would be neat as well) but I'm thinking that I'll like it. Although the "old, dead friends" bit does make me worry some...
